Numark Total Mod
Numark Total Mod Posted on: 12.02.2010 by Lorene Boehler With DC stuck in 10 inches of snow, I decided to spice up my Numark Total Control. The first, in my 3-part plan, was to change the color from lame grey to black.After letting the paint dry it came out looking pretty sick. My next step will be trying to get my CDJ fader knobs on it, but the issue is the height of my faders. When I put them on it, they hovered and didn't really lock in place. So unless any of you have an idea on how to get them on their, I | |
| Buster Kiper 05.03.2010 | I got them from here http://www.lizardlick.com/pages/pushbuttons.shtml DJTT has them cheaper here http://ranking s.myshopify.com/colle...arcade-buttons I would have gladly given my money to Ean had I realize they carry the 24mm ones and not the 30mm ones. They're not the low profile ones Which is making it a bit of a challange. Such is life |

| Buster Kiper 05.03.2010 | Wow! it looks like I abuse prescription drugs in that pic. LOL thats actually Vitamin C, I'm sick right now. |
| Buster Kiper 05.03.2010 | Update: With some minor setbacks from trying to use the 30mm buttons, I'm back up and running with the 24mm buttons. I'm hoping to be done before Saturday evening . I'll have more picture uploaded later along with some tips/hard lessons learned. |

| Donnette Parish 22.02.2010 | interesting |
| Buster Kiper 21.02.2010 | Great news! Got the stealth all pulled apart and thus far its going great. I'm going really really slow because obviously I don't want to screw it up. The only real problem It looks like I may run into is that of having to go with a button setup that goes something like oo8 Once I get this one going I believe I'm going to try get a new face plate from numark and source some 24mm buttons and try it again with them all in a row. I'll post pictures later toevening . |
| Lorene Boehler 21.02.2010 | Wow, this is really becoming a team project! I ordered my buttons today, so it's just a waiting game now. Also I got the idea to steal the leads from the "page" button on the controller and use it as a foot pedal. I'm trying to figure out how I can have both the foot pedal and the controller button work at the same time. That way I'm not required to use the foot pedal. |
| Ethel Feigum 21.02.2010 | Great thread! I was just looking at the guts of my Total Control the other day wondering how I might be able to jam some arcade buttons in there, now I'm inspired! It's going to get a facelift with all blue leds pretty soon, anyways, so I believe I'll be attempting this as well. I look forward to seeing your progress! |

If you want a pic later I can show you but I believe you will get it. Maybe some washers painted and stuck togther also might work. Whatever you do it should look good. |
| Lorene Boehler 19.02.2010 | I'm glad to hear that the buttons are that low, because now you could just bend the leads on the buttons. If you have them oriented at opposite directions you should be able to make space, right? |
| Buster Kiper 19.02.2010 | Ok so here are the Low-Pro Arcade buttons. The good news is, they are very low profile, the bad news is that they're not quite low enough. The PCB board looks pretty busy down south, I assume that its for the buttons and their respective LEDs but I'm going to have to get in there with a volt meter to test it. Let me know if any one has any recommendations. one option was to do a riser plate out of 1/8" stainless steel. |
| Buster Kiper 18.02.2010 | I received the buttons today! Looks like I'll be able to fit four per side WOOT! And along with that it also looks like I may not have to cut the board as these buttons are very low profile. I'll post up some pictures of the buttons and their dimensions later today when I get home. Also I'll pull the side panel off my stealth and get a PCB depth measurement to see if they'll fit. Stay tuned. PS I need a Big-Butt DJTT decal for this thing. Anyone know where I could get one? |
| Buster Kiper 16.02.2010 | That's going to be my first option. Although, looking at the height of the arcade buttons verses the height of the PCB I don't thing this will really be an option. |
| Latia Pfleider 15.02.2010 | Can you use a soldering iron to remove those. I am not a pro but I believe that would be a better way to do it. |
| Buster Kiper 15.02.2010 | Ok I just ordered my buttons, the Seimitsu PS-15 30mm. Time to hold my breath. I did order eight as I believe I might be able to fit them all. But it will be a tight fit. If not, I have two extras for spares. When I get them I'll be sure to take pictures and measurements. Next I need some DJTT stickers to prominently place on my arcade modded Numark Stealth. |
| Buster Kiper 14.02.2010 | I just left a positive comment on his youtube video. My heart goes out to people with disabilities |
| Roselle Mcnaul 14.02.2010 | Although now I feel like an asshole lol, I was checking out his other videos and anyone who commented on his voice he responded that he had speech problems, and his hands are extremely shaky, so I assume he has some sort of neurological disorder. Regardless, his videos are pretty informative and straight forward. Props to him for taking the time to make them regardless of whatever handicaps he may have |
| Buster Kiper 14.02.2010 | Yeah that video is must see! My wife was on the floor. |

| Lorene Boehler 14.02.2010 | I like those buttons! They are way more compact than the ones sold at DJ TT, which might allow me to get out of a circuit board cut. Also here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdp-BI7HE_g |
| Buster Kiper 13.02.2010 | Also where was that youtube video you mentioned? |

| Lorene Boehler 13.02.2010 | After e-Mailing the DJ TT staff, my best solution is going to be cutting the circuit board. I saw a demo on youtube showing me how, and after testing it on some small stuff (i.e. remotes, gameboys, ect.) i'mma move to the controller. |
12.02.2010 | Nice work man. Looks a lot like my Stealth. |
